Description
Snow falls on Zebulon Baird Vance birthplace in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
"The historic site explores daily life in the early 1800s in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Visitors can see the historic structures, including a loom house, tool shed, spring house, smoke house, and corn crib. Guided tours show visitors a 1790 slave house and discuss the eighteen enslaved people that lived and worked on the Vance farm."
We must not sugar coat this dark history, own it, accept owning slaves was is a black mark on American history. Our Forefather wrote: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." We know this is not to be true then or today.

You have such an eye, Carol, for what makes a beautiful picture. I love all of your photography, and so many of your scenes remind me of scenes I would come across in Vermont, and couldn't wait to get home and paint.

Thank you Sherri for the wonderful compliment, and Vermont is amazing state for photogrphing and painting.
